Carb Dieting Secrets
6. Protein Power Diet
Drs. Michael and Mary Eades, co-authors of The Protein Power LifePlan
hold views similar to Audette and also believe that modern health
problems are caused by our modern diet that is heavy on grains and
processed food. (Notable is that Dr. Michael Eades even wrote the
introduction to Audette’s NeanderThin.)
TheEades offer a food pyramid that is the USDA pyramid turned upside
down so that proteins form the base, vegetables and fruit form the
center and whole grains form the pyramids tip.
In addition to basing your diet on high protein and low grain intake,
the Eades also encourage regular exercise and modified regular
sunbathing sans sun block to help the body produce needed vitamins and
regulate body systems. They also recommend taking a complete
multi-vitamin and mineral supplement daily.
Dieters must identify their per meal minimum protein requirements by
height, weight and sex. Each meal should include at a minimum
that amount of protein and protein should be consumed at each
meal. Dieters should eliminate bad fats, which include corn oil,
vegetable cooking oils, margarine, vegetable shortening and all
partially hydrogenated oils.
The diet can be followed in phases allowing a quick transition to low
carb and accelerated weight loss. The first phase is called
Intervention and carb intake is limited to 7 to 10 grams per
meal. The second phase is called the Transition level and should
be adhered to for several months. At this level up to 15 net carb
grams are allowed per meal. In the final maintenance phase, up to
30 grams of carb can be consumed with each meal. Additionally,
they offer food choices and plans for 3 types of low carb
dieters: Purists, Hedonists, and Dilettantes.
Purists are looking to replicate a Paleolithic eating style in the
modern world and will rely heavily on animal protein and will avoid all
dairy products, alcohol, caffeine, legumes, sugars (except honey),
processed food, cereal grains and products that contain them.
Additionally, they will eat fresh, organic fruits and veggies and
natural meat products or game.
Hedonists are allowed the most dietary leeway. They simply need
to consume sufficient protein, keep carbs within set per meal limits,
consume plenty of water and good fats and take potassium and magnesium
supplements.
The Dilettantes walk the middle road between these two extremes.
They continue to avoid wheat, corn, millet, rye and products produced
from their flours. Yet they are allowed carbs within the daily
guidelines, some natural sugar and organic dairy products.

Is Low-Carb Weight Loss Really Just Water Loss?
by: Craig Whitley
Any weight loss or diet plan, including low-carb plans like the induction phase of the Atkins Diet will result in water loss during the first week or two. However, one of the real beauties of following a low carbohydrate eating plan is that most of the weight loss than extends beyond the initial induction phase of the diet is really from a drop in fat pounds.
